Hi @karenstar - Welcome to the community, Karen. Might I ask if you're referring to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?I also have a genetic disorder which is usually transmitted in 50% of pregnancies. All of my children, & all 3 grandchildren have inherited it (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome)!Thank you for joining. Please have a look around, perhaps using the 'All groups' link on the right, & join in with any discussion.Please, if you have any questions, just say, as hopefully you'll get some feedback/advice. Also chat or vent here any time!

A very warm welcome to the Community. Thank you for reaching out to us, and thank you for sharing, it must be very difficult for you with your condition, I don't know to much about it except that you carry the gene that can cause DMD in your children, is that correct?
